Poll: Trump on Top, Hillary, Sanders Close in Connecticut

• Trump got the support of 59 percent of those surveyed.
• John Kasich got the support of 25 percent of those surveyed.
• Ted Cruz got the support of 13 percent of those surveyed.

Trump has a 66-percent "favorable" rating in Connecticut, while Cruz has 26 percent.

In the Democrat race:

• Clinton got the support of 48 percent of those surveyed.

The Connecticut poll results suggest that Clinton's slight edge could come from her high "favorable" rating among African-Americans in the state. Sixty-three percent of those who voted in the poll called her "favorable."
